Esophageal cancer is a deadly cancer. Advances in multimodal treatment have improved esophageal cancer outcomes. Advancements have not benefited all races equally. Major disparities in esophageal cancer outcomes exist. Minorities undergo fewer surgical resections of esophageal cancer and have poorer outcomes.
食管癌是一种致命的癌症。多种治疗方法的进步改善了食管癌的治疗效果。但这些进步并没有使所有种族平等受益。食管癌的治疗结果存在显著差异。少数民族接受的食管癌手术切除较少,治疗效果也较差。
